Olympic Skier Picabo Street Arrested for Assaulting Father: Cops

Police arrested an Olympian they say pushed her elderly father down the stairs in a Utah home in December.

Olympic gold-medalist skier Picabo Street was charged with assault and domestic violence after she reportedly locked her 76-year-old dad in a basement after she knocked him down a flight of stairs, she allegedly told police.

Picabo Street, 44, had allegedly gotten into an argument on December 23 with her father, Roland Street, after he bumped his car into the house while trying to leave, the Associated Press reported.

The argument reportedly became physical when the pair went back inside the home.

She accused her father of pulling her hair during the fight, which she told police occurred in front of her three children.

Roland Street said his daughter grabbed him near his shoulder and neck and pushed him down two flights of stairs, which may have caused him to hit his head, according to reports.

The man suffered cuts to his elbow and neck, police said.

Picabo Street, 44, was arrested and out on bail. She was charged by prosecutors about two weeks later with three counts of misdemeanor domestic violence in the presence of a child. She was also hit with one count of misdemeanor assault, reports said.

Her attorney, Jason Richards, said was hopeful an amicable resolution could be reached. Through her lawyer, Picabo Street also denied any wrongdoing and considered the incident a private family matter, AP wrote.
